A-1 Carpet Cleaning

My minimum charge simply refers to the smallest your bill can possibly be.

Some people get confused, thinking this is something that gets added to the bill; it is not. Understand that if you only have $5 worth of work for me, it still takes me just as long to set the appointment, set up the equipment before I can clean, and re-load everything into my van before I can go to the next job as if I had done $500 worth of work.

Stairs are $2.00 each.

This includes 2 separate processes to thoroughly clean even the most ground-in dirt from heavy traffic. Also, just about every kind of spot is removed by this level of cleaning. On flat carpet, i.e., anything that's not stairs, I charge 23 cents per square foot for these 2 processes.

A 'facelift,' which concentrates only on those areas visibly affected by traffic.

This is needed more frequently, to remove the abrasive soil that destroys the beauty of your carpet, shortening it's useful life. This is done for the 'health' of your carpet.

I do charge for vacuuming if you don't want to, or can't.

3 cents a square foot. I'd prefer you do it; I just don't see the sense of all my training and equipment sitting idle so I can push a vacuum; neither do you want a low-paid worker in your home doing things like that.

Carpet protector will be 10 cents per square foot, just like the bulk discount.

This basically gives it to you at my cost. I do this because I know you'll be happier with my service in the long run if you use this every time.
